Thanks to its high clock speeds and Intel Alder Lake-based hybrid architecture, you can enjoy the maximum gaming performance of the Intel Core i5-13400F while secondary applications run seamlessly in the background. Intel's powerful hybrid architecture integrates two core families into a single CPU and ensures that everything in your gaming universe runs smoothly. Six performance cores (P-cores) are designed for single- and light-threaded workload performance, accelerating gaming and productivity. Four efficient cores (E cores) are optimised for multi-threaded performance and minimise performance impact from secondary tasks. The Intel Thread Director prioritises and manages CPU usage and distributes tasks to the most appropriate core to perform the calculation. Both core types can be overclocked separately. Packaging type: Box.
